On your own or with a guide

Getting round Slovenia by bus or train is straightforward if you are visiting larger towns and tourist resorts. If you also wish to get to know the countryside and some of the more remote attractions, travelling by car – your own or ahire car – is a better choice.

If you are not sure how devise your own itinerary, why not check out the multi-day itineraries offered by regional tourist boards. These travel plans include lists of attractions worth visiting, recommendations of places to eat and drink, and suitable accommodation. And of course you can adapt the itinerary to your own wishes and requirements.
